There have been fixes to the kolab-resource-handler packages and they
might indeed influence freebusy generation. I have not yet been aware
that there might be issues with using outlook. Could you please open a
corresponding bug in the bug tracker? If I understand you correctly
the issue is, that the freebusy system always displays the extended
information, right?

As mentioned on the wiki page the packages are still very experimental
and such issues are bound to arise. I'd be glad if you could open
another issue for this one in the Kolab bug tracker.

I will certainly do that. It is currently hard to tell when the whole
Horde system will be fully working together with Kolab. Currently I am
just using users interested in the web client for some very early
testing. I know that the road is buggy so I'm happy about any feedback
since it helps improving the packages.

Currently there are still some core structures of Horde being
remodelled so actually the number of bugs is still going to rise
during the next few weeks. After that the real bug fixing will start
and I expect issues such as the ones you described to be fixed in
about two months.

Cheers,

Gunnar
